I once had a conversation with a friend on the value of human life and the subject of which was worth more, the life of an adult or that of a child, came up.

It was very clear in his opinion, that the life of an adult was worth more, he went on to give his reasoning, none of which I can remember clearly to give you. I think I was befuddled at how easy the choice seemed to be for him.

I mean how do you place value on someone?

 By how important they are to you? By what they can DO for you? By how they serve others? By how much they contribute to society? Maybe you see their value in how many people love them? Or how they worship?

I just can’t do it. I can’t. I mean the simple fact that they have LIFE seems invaluable to me.

So here comes the hypothetical…

IF you were forced to choose between saving the life of a child or that of an adult, which would you choose?

THIS is NOT a question about abortion or when life becomes life! So please don’t think I want you to go there. If you must you must, but that isn’t the point of this hypothetical.

Of course the fact that it is a hypothetical makes it all kind of pointless… doesn’t it?

Wanna see what’s in the works now?

I’m going to show you anyway.

It’s one of the fourteen inch rounds I am making for my sister.

The branches and other leaves are cut out now too and mostly foiled…

I’m too lazy to take another picture right now.

 I get to go to my first photo class tonight.

It is LIGHT The third leg…

I know, sounds, interesting doesn’t it.

I am off to try and learn something, and I might stop hiding behind my chair long enough to say hello to someone.

 I haven’t decided yet.

The play list for today:

Indigo Girls

Chicago greatest hits

Fiddler on the Roof

and

Indigo Girls.

Alright I was thinking about the hypothetical and it occurred to me that we are living with one GIANT hypothetical on a daily bass right now.

Yes, yes we are.

If you had the opportunity to choose the first woman president or the first black president, which would you choose?

I know!

Tough one.

Well put it out there people!

On Survivor they are all told to pack one “luxury item” that they could win the use of sometime over the course of the show.

One year a contestant  was a fire dancer and she took her torches which she eventually was able to use, I don’t remember off the top of my head what the other people had brought.

On the show this year, Ozzie, is a photographer. I was thinking HOW can he stand it?! It would drive me nuts to be there and not have my camera, so you all know my answer, my luxury item would be MY CAMERA , spare batteries, lots of them and spare memory cards.

 Of course I bet you all saw that one coming. 

Now… 

If you were stranded on an island for thirty days and could  have one item for your PLEASURE what would it be?

We aren’t thinking useful items like lighters or lanterns etc… we are talking things that are totally useless to anything but your sanity.

 What would it be?

Buddly47 challenged me to a cyber-grill off!

My beef tenderloin against his Ribeye, I am all for it, As soon as our snow is gone.

So be watching for it.

It brought to mind something I have been thinking about, I LOVE FOOD.

One of my favorite shows on TV is Anthony Bourdains ~No Reservations, It combines two of my favorite things, food and travel! Another show that I love but haven’t seen in a while, Lonely Planet,  did much the same thing Tony does, but without the sarcasm and bitting wit.

I remember an episode of Lonely Planet where the host ate a sheep’s eye, and more recently Tony had cheek from a goats head.

Now my question to you is…

A plate of food is put before you,  it has things  you have never heard of before on it, but are told they are delicacies, perhaps some of them are unappealing in appearance, WOULD YOU EAT THEM?

Those of you who know and love me, know MY answer to this one.

There was a shark in the pool… a toe eating shark.

More toes for GP.

ON to the HYPOTHETICAL!

Say your on an island with a person for years and years, kind of like a marriage, your with one person for YEARS AND YEARS.

Would you want to know everything there is to know about the person your stranded with or would you want to retain some mystery?

And… what if you thought you knew everything there was to know about this person and then one day you learn something new? Would it be a happy surprise or a sad one?

We have company coming this weekend.

I know its going to be fun, but I still can’t help wanting to hide.

The very COOL thing is that it is sunny out!

SO I am posting pictures of things I want to GET HERE!

I have all of the curtains open and I’m cleaning like a crazy person!

I just wish I could tell I had cleaned.

I only have half a mountian of laundry now to get through.

OK the moment you’ve all been waiting for!

HYPOTHETICAL

I once read an article that said you should NEVER give up your bed to guests.

Would you give up your bed to guests?

Why or why not?

Isabelles TAG testing is today, I just dropped her off and now I need something to do until I pick her up.

I love asking you guys hypotheticals, I enjoy discussing them but Ben HATES it… so I need to get them out somewhere… so you guys have to suffer!

If you it were your sole responsibility to repopulate the human race and you had a choice between two people to take as a mate… One of them has incredible beauty, the other has  incredible intelligence… which would you choose?  You can only have ONE!

Isabelle made it back form her test… she said it was easy as pie…

THIS POST made my day…

If someone paid you 2 million dollars for one night with your spouse would you take it?

It would have to be with their consent of course.

We’ve all seen the movie Indecent Proposal, a million dollars for one night… but we are figuring for inflation here.

Ben and I have two very different answers to this question…

He says absolutely not…

I say if it would provide our family with support and security… sure why not, its just SEX…

So does this make me an immoral idiot?   I am not sure.

 Does the fact that I don’t believe one night of something physical with someone else would kill what we have make me stupid?   Maybe.

Would my Immortal soul burn in HELL if I said “Sure honey, go sleep with someone else.”   Some people would say so.

But I want to know what YOU think?

The question is this…

SOMEONE OFFERS YOU TWO MILLION DOLLARS TO HAVE SEX WITH THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE FOR ONE NIGHT… DO YOU TAKE IT?
